A barefoot man with long dark wavy hair stands on a paved stone platform before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange unstitched garment with a blue and gold-bordered waist sash and gold-bordered blue drape at the hips, a red bindi on his forehead, layered gold beaded necklaces and matching bangles and armlets.
